Digging bamboo shoots for a casual experience

A short distance from National Route 42 is Daitaiji Temple, which was founded about 1,200 years ago. Passing through the approach to the temple, after paying your respects at the Yakushido and the main hall, go to the back and you will find a camp site surrounded by a bamboo grove. Every spring, bamboo shoots grow in the bamboo grove without your knowledge. We will start a bamboo shoot digging experience in the spring of 2023 at such an Daitaiji Temple.

Bamboo forest spreading out on the temple grounds

Many people may have the image of a harvesting experience that requires a lot of preparation and packing, and that the clothes get dirty easily. However, digging bamboo shoots is not that messy, and the tools needed for harvesting will be provided by the temple. One of the attractions of this activity is that it can be done casually, either as an option for staying at Daitaiji Temple or as a stopover in Nachikatsuura Town.

I feel like I’m on a treasure hunt.

Searching for bamboo shoots growing in a bamboo grove is like a treasure hunt you may have done when you were a child. Children and even adults can enjoy harvesting these vegetables while returning to their childhood memories. Next spring, why not feel the arrival of spring by eating a bamboo shoot dish made with the bamboo shoots you harvested yourself?
